So is "change" from our founding fathers really bad? Would you want to go back to those principles? Because if so, you wouldn't be posting on a porn board and we'd all be in jail.

You're looking at it the wrong way. I am referring to the principles of the constitution, the bill of rights and the declaration of independence, nothing else.
The change your candidate so desires is dangerous to the principle of LIBERTY! You're basically asking for the government to CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE, when it is WE THE PEOPLE whom have the power to control the government... Can't you fucking see that THEY are systematically reducing the powers of WE THE PEOPLE!
How many more rights are you willing to lose?
How many freedoms are you willing to give up?
Are you ready to DIE FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, BECAUSE IT IS COMING!
Maybe not tommorow, maybe not soon, but definitely within your lifetime.
WE THE PEOPLE continue to cling to our separate identies and it is this that keeps the power OUT OF OUR HANDS AND IN THEIRS.
As long as we continue to identify ourselves as African Americans, or Hispanic Americans, or White American, etc, etc we shall continue to be divided and fall.
As long as we continue to conflict in philosophy, politics and social ideal, we shall continue to fall.
It is not suggested that we no longer conflict or have our own viewpoints, but that we identify as ONE, that WE THE PEOPLE are UNITED IN BROTHERHOOD, AS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, THAT WE ARE AMERICAN.
This isn't about black or white, green or purple, but LIBERTY.
Did America in it's history make mistakes. Goddamn right it did, it made many. We are not a perfect nation, but over the years we recognized our shortcomings and overcame them in our continued effort to uphold the ideals of the constitution, bill of rights and declaration of independence.
Are you willing to make a grave mistake with dire consequences that breaks those achievments?
Are you prepared to be subject, or shall you remain a free man as you always were?
